563 Burgess Rd, Mill Spring, NC, 28756
About This Home
Completely renovated from the studs out, this cabin sits on 7.83 unrestricted acres in Mill Spring, where creeks border three sides of the property and long-range mountain views stretch beyond a landscape of pasture, hardwoods, and natural beauty. Every surface, finish, and system has been thoughtfully updated, creating a home that feels fresh, comfortable, and ready to enjoy from day one. Outside, the property offers the kind of flexibility that's becoming increasingly difficult to find. A detached garage and additional outbuildings provide space for equipment, hobbies, storage, or animals, while the unrestricted acreage opens the door to countless possibilities. A newly added RV hookup with septic connection allows you to comfortably live on the property while building, host guests, or create an additional basecamp for weekends in the mountains. Whether you're seeking a private retreat, investment opportunity, small farm, or future homesite, the value here extends far beyond the cabin itself. Whether your vision is a mountain getaway, family compound, or custom home overlooking the water and mountains, this property offers the space, freedom, and infrastructure to bring it to life.
